Thanks. Not sure what to make the tail out of. Fabric would be too puffy and I don't have the equipment to mould plastic.

[Lunaryon]

That is a problem... What about metal?

[Taiania]

Hmmm. I could see what my dad could put together. He's a metalworker :)

[Lunaryon]

you'd have to be careful not to cut yourself though, if it is serrated.

[Taiania]

I'd just get him to blunt it off or give it a paint coating. I'll have a think about it.
I'm also wondering whether to make them detachable.

Random question of the day:

How does your family react to your interest in paganism?

Edit: Oh and something fun to do if you have the time.
Seeing your true self (your spirit or soul or inner self).
Sit in front of a mirror and relax. Look at your reflection then close your eyes. With eyes closed relax or meditate and let an image come to you like the reflection did when you looked in the mirror. This should be the inner self.
If you get anything post it up. We can share ^_^

I'll have to try that when i can get quiet time in this house :D

My parents were fine with my chosen path, most of my family were, except a couple but they don't really count after all, do they :) To be honest my parents were fine to let me go through what they saw as a "phase". Now it's a phase that's lasted the whole of my teenage years, on and off true, but for the last three or four years it's been settled. I've got family that actually boast about it, so i know i'm incredibly lucky in that respect; my ex's mom wanted nothing to do with me, and i very nearly wasn't allowed even within ten feet of the house.

I'm glad your parents are so accepting. My mum follows a darker side of paganism and she says she doesn't mind what I follow as long as I'm careful. Though she has no idea I'm as far into my studies as I am.

[Lunaryon]

I'm not sure my parents really think about it. They support me, but I'm still so new that I don't really know much...

[Taiania]

I'm glad they're supportive.

I hear so many stories of people being let down by family they thought loved them.

On a lighter note me and Jenjen did protection charm on our house today.

[Gallowsraven]

cool. i generally sage to do that and use white light. so are you a Heritage, Tai-chan, or . . . sorry for asking i'm just curious.

The only witch i currently know who can make that claim had no true choice; mother was psychic and dad was a silent witch, it's in her genes and still goin strong :D

[Taiania]

I'm not sure to be honest. It goes back to my family not likeing to talk about anything. I think so as from the traits I've heard about in my great grandparents they strike me as pagan. That's on both sides.
But I taught myself most of what I know. I think my mum wanted to keep me out as I attract things. I had some bad (as in messed me up for a long time) experiences as a child due to energies my mother had no way of defending against. Half of them I still won't tell her about.

[Gallowsraven]

Ouch, Sounds like you are one. Hugs to ya Tai-chan. Hugs to ya. A Solitary Heritage, actually that has a nice ring to it, if a lonely one. sorry that's not helping is it. Bad Raven . . .

I'm super happy! I now have two new pieces of moldavite!!! Which is rare! and powerful! and i just love the stuff! I wanna necklace or ring but it's mega-expensive.

Bet that made you at least twitch-smile :D Yes? No? I shuddup now. *twiddles thumbs*

I think this proves that i cannot have a serious conversation to save my damn life :D

[Taiania]

Lol I'm fine. And now I've got Jenjen I'm not so solitary. :P And thanks for the hugs :D

And cool. I need to get more gems. I'm running out XD

[Gallowsraven]

I got them because the only one i had is used to make Moldavite Oil, and it's a little difficult to get the oil off the stone when it's so fragile. I wanted at least one more piece to work with every day. A generally accurate, though not too flattering, description of it in small, rough pieces is crystallised snot. At least in my opinion.

Oh, a tip; don't put even one drop of moldavite oil in your oil burner at night unless you can handle really, really vivid dreams. I experimented with that, and i was so disturbed . . . who would rape angels?! I still have no idea what that dream meant!

i'll have to try the 'inner self' thing later...

as for my family, they accept it. but that's mainly because i don't give them a choice. i have no intentions of changing who i am to suit someone else. this is something i've always been very firm about and those who care about me accept this. if they don't, we don't communicate. it's just that simple, actually.
